North Meck Rec is making a splash in Cornelius!

Last week I had the pleasure of touring the brand new Northern Regional Recreation and Senior Center in Cornelius, NC! Commonly called North Meck Rec, it is a spectacular facility with state-of-the-art fitness, exercise, and aquatic activities.

Everything is new and beautiful

Justin Jackson, regional manager, was conducting the tour — and to tell you the truth — I think they have thought of just about everything — fitness, exercise, aquatic activities, birthday parties, summer camps, room rentals, basketball, volley ball, pickle ball, an indoor track, and child care while you work out, are just a few of the things we saw on the tour.

The Lobby, Front Desk, and Grand Staircase

Each space has something special

Every space is thought out and provides either a social or a fitness experience.

Child care

You can work out while your child is entertained by activities in the child care room. There is a limit of 16 children in the room at one time and they are supervised by two certified child care adults.

Aquatic activities

Not just fitness, it is also a social place

North Meck Rec has large and small room rentals. You do not have to be a member to rent a room for a baby shower, meeting, and you can even rent the ballroom — it has a full kitchen available to licensed caterers.

For more information and to join

There is a soft opening starting June 13th for enrolled members. The grand opening ceremony is June 24th and the facility is open to the general public as of June 25th. Click here to visit their website.
